The twice-weekly service will operate in May, June, September and October next year.

Jonny Macneal, Head of Aviation at Edinburgh Airport said: “Bilbao, like Edinburgh, is a fantastic city filled with culture, history, and a thriving food scene, making this route another excellent addition to our offering.”

Vueling already operates a route between Edinburgh and Barcelona, which will continue four times per week.
